Press
Release Body: Tesco Ireland today announced the
launch of Ireland’s newest mobile telephone service, Tesco
Mobile. Using the 089 prefix, Tesco Mobile
will offer one simple prepay pricing plan of 20c per minute calls
to any network at any time with all text messages costing 9c.
Tesco
Mobile customers will also be able to benefit from
unlimited calls, texts and picture messages to other Tesco
Mobile customers by buying the exclusive In Touch 10 and
In Touch 30 Bundles. These Bundles are for 10 and 30 days and cost
€4.99 and €11.99 respectively.
Speaking
at the launch, Tom Britten, General Manager of Tesco Mobile
said, “We are committed to offering the best value mobile
phone service. Complicated and expensive pricing plans have confused
Irish consumers for long enough. Apart from great value, Tesco mobile
will introduce transparency and simplicity through one easy to understand
pricing package with no hidden extras. Customers will also benefit
from nationwide coverage on a world class network.”
An
extensive range of Tesco
Mobile prepay
phones will be rolled out to 48 Tesco stores
from Monday 29th October. Mobile
credit Top Ups will also be available in all 97 Tesco
Ireland stores and at 3,000 other independent locations
nationwide. Tesco Clubcard holders will earn extra
points for all Top Ups and get double points when
topping up at any Tesco store. An online purchasing
service will also be available on Tesco
Ireland.
As
a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO),
Tesco Mobile is a new independent company and is a joint
venture between Tesco Ireland and O2 Ireland,
which means that Tesco Mobile customers will roam
on the O2 network. Customers will be offered a
pre paid service initially.
